Spanish scientists have hypothesized that Neanderthals died out because people ate them

View Homo Sapiens can be attributed to invasive species that we have already caused the complete disappearance of 178 large mammals. Researchers believe that there is reason to add to them one more - the Neanderthals: in particular, they recommended to investigate the bones of Neanderthals traces of fingerprints on human teeth. However, while this is only a theory, and the evidence supporting it, almost none.

However, scientists believe that the birthplace of Homo Sapiens is Africa, and in Europe and Asia, our ancestors came later, where he met the competitors occupying the same ecological niche with them, but it could find them just another animal species and food source.





Perhaps, in 2009, researchers Martinez-Navarro found some evidence, examining marks on the jawbone of Neanderthal man - they were similar to the marks found earlier on the bones of deer and other large animals, which people began to kill and eat in the Stone Age.

There is another theory that Neanderthals could not compete with people who had a more developed intelligence and better tools. The third theory is that the Neanderthals were more susceptible to climate change and become extinct themselves.

Neanderthals lived in Europe about 300 thousand years ago, they managed to survive several ice ages, and they have completely disappeared, only about 30 thousand years ago, at about the same time that human beings have left the African continent.
